Excellent cake crab avec une fine touche de caviar, le martini perfect, un pur délice, les artichauts & le beurre aux truffes sublimes. Henriette, notre serveuse, est fantastique, d'un professionnalisme & d'une gentillesse inouïs. Benjamin, merci !

The food was okay, the portion was quite small & not as presentable as I had anticipated. The service on the other hand was slow. Everyone was nice but it took quite some time to receive our food or anything. Raphael was our server & he was very friendly & attentive, but after his shift ended we had a different server that didn't come to see us once. We had brought a birthday cake as well that they didn't inform us of a service charge of $7 per person to cut the cake, which we didn't mind but at least inform us in advance, well the hostess when we had given her the cake.

Was out for dinner with an advisor of mine & the scene was very nice here. Quiet enough for good conversation.

We were seated right away without rsvp.

Service was excellent & provided good recommendations. You have to try the crispy blood sausage - this was suggested as very popular so had to try. It was so delicate but still had a bite. I also ordered the crab cakes & was nicely done.

What was disappointing was my dry aged sirloin. I ordered it medium rare, but had a very inconsistent temperature. Flavor wise, it was very beefy & had a nice crust to it. I might have been happier with the filet.

They brought out small hors d'oeuvres which were lovely.

Our waitress was super nice, had great suggestions & was helpful with the menu.

Would come back to try other cuts of beef. Will update hopefully soon .

J'ai été au Benjamin pour la première fois dernièrement & j'ai vraiment aimé. Un excellent service de la part de Joseph, super efficace dans ses recommendations!

J'ai essayé le crab cake en entrée, la magret de canard pour mon repas & l'omelette norvégienne pour le désert. La viande était vraiment tendre, j'ai particulièrement aimé la sauce (je crois c'était à l'orange).

Il y a aussi une vaste sélection de martini pour les cocktails, je recommande le Martinez 🍸
